Objective:To explore the mediating role of rumination thinking between demoralization and quality of life in malignant tumor patients, provide guidance and reference for helping tumor patients overcome rumination thinking and demoralization and improve quality of life.Methods:From February 2020 to June 2022, 189 patients with malignant tumors admitted to the Department of Oncology of the First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University were selected by convenience sampling method as the research objects, and a cross-sectional survey was conducted using general information questionnaire, Demoralization Scale-Mandarin Version, Ruminative Responses Scale, Punctional Assessment of Cancer Therapy-General.Results:Among 189 malignant tumor patients, there were 102 males, 87 females, aged (43.54 ± 13.12) years old. The total score of loss of demoralization was (34.37 ± 10.34) points, the total score of rumination thinking was (41.01 ± 17.10) points, the total score of quality of life was (48.51 ± 15.41) points. The Pearson analysis results showed that the total score of demoralization in malignant tumor patients was negatively correlated with the total score of quality of life ( r = -0.502, P<0.01); the total score of rumination thinking was negatively correlated with the total score of quality of life ( r = -0.465, P<0.01), and the total score of demoralization was positively correlated with the total score of rumination thinking ( r = 0.628, P<0.01). Bootstrap mediation test results showed that ruminant thinking played a partial mediating effect between demoralization and quality of life of patients with malignant tumors, accounted for 30.9% of the total effect. Conclusions:Rumination plays a partially mediating role in the demoralization and quality of life of patients with malignant tumors, suggesting that clinical staff can improve the quality of life of patients with tumors by developing a systematic and comprehensive cognitive-behavioral intervention strategy to improve the demoralization and rumination.

Objective To explore the potential relationship between ubiquitination of transforming growth factor kinase 1(TAK1)/nuclear factor-κB(NF-κB)signaling pathway mediated by ring finger protein 99(RNF99)and septic acute respiratory distress syndrome(ARDS).Methods Plasmid and siRNA transfection were conducted to overexpress or knock down RNF99 in MLE12,and expressions of p65 phosphate and p65 protein were analyzed.The protein interaction between RNF99 and TRAF6 or TAK1 was analyzed by immunoprecipitation assay.Forty mice were randomly divided into WT plus PBS,WT plus LPS,RNF99 specific expression(TG)plus PBS,and TG plus LPS groups,with 10 mice in each group.Sepsis was induced by intraperitoneal injection of 30 mg/kg LPS.Results As compared with vector group,protein expression levels of TRAF6 and TAK1 in MLE12 cells decreased significantly in RNF99 group(P<0.05).Ubiquitinated TRAF6 protein increased in MLE12 cells with RNF99 knockdown.As compared with LPS plus vector group,phosphorylation level of p65 in MLE12 cells was signifi-cantly lower in LPS plus RNF99 group(P<0.05).As compared with si-NC group,protein expression levels of RNF99 and IκBα in si-RNF99 group decreased significantly(P<0.05).As compared with LPS plus si-NC group,phosphorylation level of p65 in LPS plus si-RNF99 group increased significantly(P<0.05).The staining percentage of CD68 macrophages in lung tissues was significantly lower in TG plus LPS group than in WT plus LPS group(P<0.05).Phosphorylation level of p65 in lung tissues was significantly lower in TG plus LPS group than in WT plus LPS group(P<0.05).Conclusion RNF99 regulates NF-κB signaling pathway by interacting with the key regulator of NF-κB signaling pathway(TRAF6/TAK1),and improves lung injury after intraperitoneal injection of LPS in mice.

OBJECTIVE To compare the effects of roxadustat and recombination human erythropoietin （rHuEPO） on coronary artery calcification in maintenance hemodialysis （MHD） patients. METHODS In retrospective analysis， MHD patients prescribed roxadustat in the Blood Purification Center of the First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University from April 2019 to June 2021 were selected as the ROX group （56 patients）， and MHD patients prescribed rHuEPO during the same period were selected as the EPO group （60 patients）， and follow-up observation was conducted for 12 months. The differences in laboratory index， coronary artery calcification score （CACS）， and cardiac ultrasound parameters before and after treatment as well as the occurrence of cardiac and cerebrovascular adverse events during follow-up period were compared between the two groups. RESULTS There was no statistical difference in CACS between the two groups before and after treatment （P＞0.05）； but the difference of CACS in the ROX group was significantly lower than the EPO group （P＜0.05）. There was no statistically significant difference in cardiac ultrasound parameters and laboratory indexes between the two groups before and after treatment （P＜0.05）. The incidence of apoplexy and myocardial infarction in the ROX group was lower than that in the EPO group （P＜0.05）， and there was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of hospitalization due to heart failure between the two groups （P＞0.05）. CONCLUSIONS Compared with rHuEPO， roxadustat may have a positive effect on delaying coronary artery calcification in MHD patients and may be beneficial in reducing the incidence of myocardial infarction and apoplexy in MHD patients.

Objective:To evaluate the values of 18F-PI-2620 PET/CT brain imaging with SUV ratio (SUVR) in the assessment of tau protein deposition in the brain of patients with different cognitive disorders and its correlation with cognition. Methods:This was a cross-sectional study. From December 2019 to November 2022, a total of 67 subjects including 54 patients with Alzheimer′s disease (AD; 21 males, 33 females, age (68.6±7.8) years), 7 patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI; 1 male, 6 females, age (63.1±11.2) years) and 6 healthy controls (HC; 4 males, 2 females, age (69.0±5.8) years) were enrolled retrospectively in Renji Hospital. All participants were examined by 18F-PI-2620 PET/CT. SUVRs of brain regions were obtained, including frontal lobe, temporal lobe, occipital lobe, parietal lobe, insular lobe, whole brain, as well as 10 independent brain ROIs (amygdala, orbitofrontal cortex, cingulate gyrus, superior occipital gyrus, superior parietal gyrus, inferior angular gyrus, precuneus, inferior temporal gyrus, entorhinal cortex and parahippocampal gyrus), with inferior cerebellum cortex as the reference region. All participants were estimated by cognitive scales(mini-mental state examination (MMSE) and Montreal cognitive assessment (MoCA)). One-way analysis of variance and the least significant difference t test were used to compare the differences of SUVR in each brain region among HC, MCI and AD groups. ROC curve analysis was used to determine the optimal cut-off values of SUVR in each brain region for the differential diagnosis of AD-MCI and AD-HC. Pearson correlation analysis was employed to examine the correlations of SUVR with cognitive scale scores. Results:The SUVR of whole brain was 1.40±0.31 in AD group, 1.08±0.19 in MCI group, and 1.01±0.12 in HC group. SUVR analysis in the whole brain and each brain region could distinguish AD from HC, AD from MCI ( F values: 1.76-10.09, t values: 2.98-7.47, all P<0.05), but could not distinguish HC from MCI ( t values: 0.17-1.53, all P>0.05). ROC curve analysis showed that the best cut-off value of SUVR was 1.18 for whole brain (AUC=0.89), 1.13 for amygdala (AUC=0.94) and 1.26 for parahippocampal gyrus (AUC=0.94) for differential diagnosis of AD and HC, which was 1.06 for whole brain (AUC=0.82), 1.18 for amygdala (AUC=0.88) and 1.28 (AUC=0.88) for infratemporal gyrus to differential diagnosis of AD and MCI. SUVRs of the whole brain, frontal, occipital, parietal, temporal and insula were significantly negatively correlated with MMSE and MoCA cognitive scale scores ( r values: from -0.64 to -0.40, all P<0.05). Conclusions:SUVR quantitative analysis in 18F-PI-2620 PET imaging can assist the differential diagnosis of AD and HC, AD and MCI. The SUVRs of whole brain and five lobes show negative correlations with MMSE and MoCA scores.

Objective To observe area of coagulation necrosis after microwave ablation(MWA)of rabbit liver showed on contrast-enhanced ultrasound(CEUS)in comparison with pathological findings.Methods Twenty-five healthy male experimental rabbits were equally randomly divided into L0,M0,H0,M7 and M14 groups.MWA was achieved with different power and time,and then CEUS and pathological examinations were performed,respectively.Four target areas of rabbit liver were ablated under 20 W for 1 min in L0 group,under 30 W for 1 min in M0 group and under 30 W for 3 min in H0 group,and the ablated areas were observed on the same day after MWA,while 2 target areas of rabbit liver were ablated under 30 W for 1 min in M7 and M14 groups,and the ablated areas were observed 7 days and 14 days after MWA,respectively.The ablated foci and ablated foci+edema band(inflammatory reaction band,IRB)showed on CEUS and pathology were compared,and their differences and changes with time going were analyzed.Results On the day of ablation,the extent of ablation foci,ablation foci+IRB as well as IRB in L0,M0 and H0 groups showed on CEUS were all larger than pathological findings under light microscopy(all P＜0.05),and the difference value of the length of the ablation foci between 2 methods increased sequentially among group L0,M0 and H0(all adjusted P＜0.05).Seven days after ablation,the area of ablation foci measured with CEUS in M 7 group was slightly larger than that measured with pathology(adjusted P=0.045),but no significant difference of the length nor the short diameter was found(both adjusted P＞0.05).Fourteen days after ablation,no significant difference of the length,the short diameter nor the area of ablation foci was detected between 2 methods in M14 group(all adjusted P＞0.05).The length,short diameter and area of ablation foci in M0 group measured with CEUS or pathology were all smaller than those in M 7 and M14 groups(all adjusted P＜0.05),while no significant difference was found between the latter 2 groups(all adjusted P＞0.05).Conclusion On the day of MWA of rabbit liver with different power and time settings,the areas of ablation foci,ablation foci+IRB and IRB showed on CEUS were larger than pathological findings.The range of ablation foci showed on CEUS 7 days after ablation was basically in line with pathology,indicating that CUES should be reexamined 7 days after ablation to evaluate the actual extent of coagulation and necrosis of ablation foci.

Patients with severe trauma require an extremely timely treatment and transfusion plays an irreplaceable role in the emergency treatment of such patients. An increasing number of evidence-based medicinal evidences and clinical practices suggest that patients with severe traumatic bleeding benefit from early transfusion of low-titer group O whole blood or hemostatic resuscitation with red blood cells, plasma and platelet of a balanced ratio. However, the current domestic mode of blood supply cannot fully meet the requirements of timely and effective blood transfusion for emergency treatment of patients with severe trauma in clinical practice. In order to solve the key problems in blood supply and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma, Branch of Clinical Transfusion Medicine of Chinese Medical Association, Group for Trauma Emergency Care and Multiple Injuries of Trauma Branch of Chinese Medical Association, Young Scholar Group of Disaster Medicine Branch of Chinese Medical Association organized domestic experts of blood transfusion medicine and trauma treatment to jointly formulate Chinese expert consensus on blood support mode and blood transfusion strategies for emergency treatment of severe trauma patients ( version 2024). Based on the evidence-based medical evidence and Delphi method of expert consultation and voting, 10 recommendations were put forward from two aspects of blood support mode and transfusion strategies, aiming to provide a reference for transfusion resuscitation in the emergency treatment of severe trauma and further improve the success rate of treatment of patients with severe trauma.

Objective:To explore and analyze the clinical features and prognostic factors of secondary intestinal diffuse large B-cell lymphoma(SI-DLBCL),in order to provide reference for the basic research and clinical diagnosis and treatment of secondary lymphoma of rare sites in the field of hematology.Methods:The clinical data of 138 patients with SI-DLBCL admitted to Fujian Medical University Union Hospital from June 2011 to June 2022 were collected and sorted,the clinical and pathological features,diagnosis,treatment and prognosis were analyzed.Cox regression risk model was used to conduct univariate and multivariate analysis on the prognostic risk factors.Results:Among the 138 patients with SI-DLBCL included in this study,85(61.59％)were male,53(38.41％)were female,the median age of onset was 59.5(16-84)years,the clinical manifestations lacked specificity,the first-line treatment regimen was mainly chemotherapy(67.39％),94 cases(68.12％)received chemotherapy alone,40 cases(28.98％)were treated with chemotherapy combined with surgery,and 4 cases(2.90％)were treated with surgery alone.The median follow-up time was 72(1-148)months.Among the 138 patients with SI-DLBCL,79(57.25％)survived,34(24.64％)died,25 cases(18.12％)lost to follow-up,the PFS rates of 1-year,3-year and 5-year were 57.97％,49.28％and 32.61％,and the OS rates of 1-year,3-year and 5-year were 60.14％,54.35％and 34.06％,respectively.The results of univariate Cox regression analysis showed that age,Lugano stage and IPI score were the influencing factors of OS in SI-DLBCL patients,and age,Lugano stage and IPI score were the influencing factors of PFS in SI-DLBCL patients.The results of multivariate Cox analysis showed that Lugano stage was an independent prognostic factor affecting OS and PFS in SI-DLBCL patients.Conclusion:Patients with SI-DLBCL are more common in middle-aged and elderly men,and the early clinical manifestations lack specificity,and the first-line treatment regimen is mainly R-CHOP chemotherapy,and Lugano stage is an independent prognostic factor affecting OS and PFS in SI-DLBCL patients.

Clostridium difficile infection(CDI)is a major cause of hospital-acquired gastrointestinal infections in children.Current treatment for pediatric CDI primarily involves antibiotics;however,some children experience recurrence after antibiotic treatment,and those with initial recurrence remain at risk for further recurrences following subsequent antibiotic therapy.In such cases,careful consideration of treatment options is necessary.Fecal microbiota transplantation has been shown to be effective for recurrent CDI and has a high safety profile.This article reviews the latest research on the pathogenesis,risk factors,diagnosis,and treatment of pediatric CDI domestically and internationally,with a particular focus on fecal microbiota transplantation therapy.

Objective To investigate the effect and molecular mechanism of tRF-1:30-Gln-CTG-4(tRF-1:30)on the expression of inflammatory factors in high glucose(HG)-induced renal tubular epithelial cells(RTECs).Methods RTECs were divided into the control group,the HG group,the HG+tRF-1:30 mimic group,the HG+tRF-1:30 negative control(NC)group,the HG+si-IKZF2 group and the HG+si-NC group.Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction(RT-qPCR)was used to detect the expression levels of tRF-1:30,tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),interleukin-6(IL-6),monocyte chemoattractant protein-1(MCP-1)and IKAROS family zinc finger protein 2(IKZF2).Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA)was used to detect levels of TNF-α,IL-6 and MCP-1.Protein expression of IKZF2 was detected by Western blot assay.Dual-luciferase reporter assay was used to detect the targeting relationship between tRF-1:30 and IKZF2.Results The expression levels of inflammatory factors were elevated in HG-induced RTECs,and the expression level of tRF-1:30 was decreased(P＜0.05).Overexpression of tRF-1:30 significantly decreased expression levels of inflammatory factors in HG-induced RTECs(P＜0.05),and the expression level of IKZF2 was significantly increased(P＜0.05).Further knockdown of IKZF2 can inhibit the release of inflammatory factors,and the expression level of IKZF2 was down-regulated after overexpression of tRF-1:30.Double luciferase reporting experiment further verified the possible targeting relationship between tRF-1:30 and IKZF2.Conclusion Overexpression of tRF-1:30 inhibits the expression of inflammatory factors in HG-induced RTECs by target binding and negatively regulating the expression of IKZF2.
